I just joined the club
I saw on a MTB forum that reflectors and bell are a sign of a Noob Dork
Specialized Camber 29 2013 model

So when are you and Hilly coming done south next?

Solo rider will I ever see this thing in the flesh

That Reverb seatpost is good gear.

mine came standard with a giant adjustble post, but they forgot to fit the seat height for me. went back a few days later and the seat was too low so they put a revirb on there (longer). I could have changed to a bigger bike the rest of the geometry was good.
reverb post seems better quality than the giant ones. probably heavier tho.

I thought it would be great but I dont use it as much as I thought I would. Good on BMX track and really hard downhill stuff but most downhill I leave.

Loving this sport though - so good to be able to say I will go at 4pm on tuesday for two hours and do it, not wind dependant! and more fun than I expected!

oh I got tubeless tyres after a flat. low pressures make it feel heaps better on our super rocky trails. can absolutely hook down the single track.

That's the best part about mountain biking. No wind, no swell then go for a ride.



Here is our club logo.

You see but didn't saw hahaha. Love it!
How good is coming off. Not as pleasant as going over the falls on a wave.
Hilly text me this morning saying how much he loved it.
Are you doing the Karri Cup with Miller and I in 2 weeks? Should be fun... Not! Hahaha.
Make sure when you come down south you bring your deadly treadly with you and we will see how much bark we can get off you

Neil Young concert on the Friday and then off over east. Fitness
needs some more work, so dont think I would have been ready anyway, but want to do the Cape to Cape with you guys

No wuckers Tim.
Went over the handle bars and onto my back this arvo. Couldnt move my legs. Huge swelling. Went to emergency. Got drugs. X-rays in the morning.
Hoping its just bruised. Still wanting to do the Karri Cup with the boys but definatly doing the Cape to Cape.

Hope everything is OK. Did you hit something or do it in a jump?

Greenroom said...
Landed on a log.
Got up this morning the pain was heavy. Cold sweats, blurred vision and passed out. Wife called ambo and now I'm in hospital waiting for X-rays.

That's bad news Owen, hang in there

The 'string' bike ... took this photo at the DSM factory in the Netherlands.

How does that work?

Pretty radical concept www.stringbike.com/

Gee er that is not good. Trust it all resolves rapidly.

Good news so far. Fingers crossed Greeny.

Just got the results from MRI this morning and doctor showed me the images. Technology is amazing!
I've fractured my lower back (sacrum not scotum hahaha).
Lots of rest for the next month or two? Off the morphine and valium because it made me vomit too much. Just good doses of codeine.
I'm chomping at the bit already! Can't keep me still for 5 minutes

Poor Barbie, another kid to look after

Hang in there junior, sounds like you're on the up and up
